You need a multi-meter to do this. The temp.control is just a switch that closes on temperature rise and opens on temperaure fall (or when it reaches the desired temperature). Using a meter set on ohms coneect to the 2 prong ends of the temp. control. Set the temp. control on off. You should not have any ohms because hte temp. control is open (no continunity) now set the temp control to 2 or 3 and it should close (the meter will read ohms or continunity)
if it does then the t'stat works. The only other exception is the temp. control will sometimes (this is rare) not properly sense temp. for example, it fails to sense zero degrees and it will either stay on too long to shut off too soon. I only seen this happen like twice in 20 years. but more or less this is how you do it!!!
hope this was helpful

    Can you short the two wires together from the temp control to test the operation of the compressor? I have an issue were my freezer is completely dead, with the exception of the interior light. I replaced the relays on the compressor but still nothing. I think I may have a bad temp control, but I dont own a meter. Not sure if I should keep ordering parts for my 12 yr old kenmoore upright freezer.

Where is adjustable cold control on kenmore model 15098 freezer

Found this

The temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward MAX and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.

In my experience, the temperature adjustment knob is behind the grill on the side. They put it hidden there because you hardly ever need to touch it. The model number isn't quite right for a Kenmore. It should be 3+5 numbers 123.12345 like this one 253.12502

My frostfree Kenmore upright freezer has been beeping alarm since the power was off for three hours this morning and showing -3 as temperature. What do I do to reset?

On some models the beeping will not stop until it gets to normal temp. The -3 is more than likely the set temperature of the unit. you can try to change that with the control. The best thing to do is get a thermometer to check what the actual temperature is.

I accidently turned off freezer.How do i turn it back on?

Turn the interior temperature control back on by setting at approx halfway between "off" and "coldest". (Make certain the branch circuit is hot - you should hear the compressor turn on when you set the control, possible an interior light will come on as well).

If the freezer does not run, check to see if you accidiently pulled the flash defrost plnger (if equipped). (See age 8 in your manual).

Where do i find the temperature control?

If your unit has a cold control it would most likely be on the side of the chest freezer near the front bottom. If you can find your complete model number from the tag on the freezer I could find out for you for sure.

Thanks

I just moved into a home with a kenmore chest freezer. This is a real dumb question, but which symbol means on. Should the circle be showing for "on" or should the line be showing for "on"?

Some freezer models feature a temperature
monitor that provides an audible
alarm. The temperature monitor alarm is
located near the temperature control

The alarm sounds if the temperature in
the freezer rises 10° F (12° C) or more
above normal for selected setting. Alarm
may sound if temperature control dial is
turned to a much colder setting or if a
large amount of unfrozen food is added at
one time. Alarm is controlled by a three
position switch



0 = OFF prevents alarm from sounding
when freezer is warm, such as during
initial start-up or defrosting.
• ✓ = TEST sounds alarm regardless of
temperature. Alarm system should be
tested at least once a month.
1 = ON is proper setting for normal
freezer use. Return switch to 1 after
defrosting.
